...

why is the local news in south bend, indiana reporting on a gang war in the ghettos of new york city?

there is a big sticker on the outside of my XB1 box that says "plays XBox 360 games".

I feel like this is false advertising

it should say "plays ~150 random XBox 360 games."

well, if it is a reference to the punisher like some outlets are reporting, it sort of makes sense since that was such a huge story

but the timeline doesnt fit

KutuluMike

true, Daredevil S2 was pre-Christmas

wow. i can't play Assassins Creed III on this thing, but it's ok, because it has Ugly Americans: Apocalypsegeddon

Q: When to use DCAU tag?

DCAU refers to DC animated universe and should be used for those questions only but here DCAU tag is used for DC Universe Animated Original Movies too which is wrong. Similar to MCU, DCAU is quite famous term among fans and it have distinct meaning and shouldn't be used with any random DC animat...

Q: How much of the character of Wilson Fisk is based on real people?

I was watching Vincent D'Onofrio's performance on Daredevil. And thinking about it, I was wondering how much it was based on reality. Did the creator of the show model Wilson Fisk on any famous people?

Q: Did they use the real Farnsworth House for filming?

When watching Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice I first noticed that Bruce Wayne's house, to which he moved after Wayne Manor apparently burned down, was modelled closely after Farnsworth House. But then when seeing more interior shots, especially when he discussed with Alfred later, I realized ...

@DrRDizzle i don't think we're ever usually given specific dates, but every season, we have a specific match point to a movie time frame and can do some extrapolation. e.g. IIRC, the fish oil terrigenesis event was stated to happen over the summer. that was starting when ultron was finishing

@DrRDizzle thus far, Agents of SHIELD seems to be set roughly at the same time as the movies that come out ... there are usually tie-ins (Avengers, CA2, Thor2, Age of Ultron)

if the pattern holds, it means AoS is currently set just before CA3

it's a bit odd that Daredevil never even passingly referenced Sokovia (that I remember?)

@KutuluMike nope. the newspapers referenced the battle of ny, but nothing about sokovia.

@phantom42 In fairness, random person on the street is going to care a lot more about New York being attacked than they are a random Eastern European country getting attacked.

Himarm

i read about foriegn disasters but then forget about it, like i guess somewhere in the middle east 76 people got killed on easter, but i cant remember where. and the news barly bothered to talk about it

1:33 PM

@DrRDizzle i didnt say anything contradicting that

just that we saw a few connections to other marvel events, just not sokovia

Jack B Nimble

I'm seeing BvS tonight.

No surprises, as I'm indifferent to spoilers.

phantom42

so was the supergirl/flash ep worth downloading and watching?

friggin cbs

Jack B Nimble

For people who think movie Batman doesn't kill people...

BATMAN Movie Kill Count Supercut

44 kills between Batman 1989 and The Dark Knight Rises.

Himarm

@phantom42 the episode plot was whatever, but it was fun seeing flash and super girl together

Jack B Nimble

1:49 PM

So was that on CW, or CBS?

Himarm

on cbs, they make fun of cw

phantom42

and its not on hulu or anything

just their website

Dr R Dizzle

@JackBNimble Yeah, films have been pretty awful at realising that aspect of Bruce Wayne. Doesn't excuse Zack Snyder's Rampage Batman.

Himarm

2:10 PM

imo they should have started with a batman movie, with robin dieing to the joker to show how messed up batman is now

instead of throwing him into a superman movie

but whatever

Batman only kills when it is convenient for him. That is the mark of a true hero.

Q: True identity of Wonder Woman?

On Wiki, it said: Wonder woman is a warrior princess of the Amazons (which are based on the Amazons of Greek mythology) and is known in her homeland as Princess Diana of Themyscira. And I just read somewhere: Wonder Woman is the offspring of Zeus and Hippolyta and as such should be at least a de...

@DrRDizzle how many people did Batman kill in Dawn of Justice, because honeslty I didn't even notice until I had to go back and think about it.

@KutuluMike I'm going to say upwards of a dozen.

Suicide Squad is spending "tens of millions of dollars" on reshoots in order to make itself more fun.

birthmoviesdeath.com/2016/03/31/…

Good.

Himarm

he blew up a few cars filled with badguys,

i dont think i saw him kill anyone 1v1 tho

Dr R Dizzle

@Himarm Literally shot a guy so he set on fire.

Himarm

meh, just roll around on ground a bit, youll be alright

KutuluMike

5:01 PM

but "setting on fire", "throwing off buildings", "blowing up vehicles"... those are all things every movie Batman has done, plus countless TV heros.. You don't see the people die so there's always that chance they survived with first degree burns, or internal injuries, or whatever.

I'm pretty sure he just straight up shoots a few guys when rescuing Martha, which is kinda blunt for Batman, but otherwise, is his confirmed "body count" really that high?

or is it that all past movie Batmans were so campy or light-hearted in general, that you didn't notice how brutal they were really being?

Himarm

well it looked like he was shooting legs, or chests, but the guards seemed to have body armor

KutuluMike

I thought the guy that was actually holding the gun on Martha got just shot in the head?

I was gonna go back and see the movie tomorrow just for something to do.

now I might have to go back and take notes.

Himarm

thats the guy that got set on fire

i believe

KutuluMike

oh yeah.
